To love or hate?

What’s all the hype surrounding love about?
Love is so cliched. So boring. So blah!
It’s been talked about a gazillion times! Romeo and Juliet! Antony and Cleopatra! All of you get a life!
Valentine’s Day has become so fake. Materialistic in all sense of the word. I pity poor St. Valentine. Seriously.
So I’ve decided that since love has been talked about enough I’ll talk about hate instead.
Hate is so much more complex; so much more intense. In conventional terms it is not a very nice feeling but interesting all the same.
Nothing beats the feel of adrenaline running through you and making you all charged up. The raw emotion of hate is undefined and not explored enough.
But why does it have such negativity attached to it? Why can’t it be treated just like any other emotion? Personally I think it is because human nature doesn’t let us hate as much as we love. And both can’t be separated.
I have seen people blinded by their hatred towards some people. But strangely enough that has never happened to me. I would love to hate someone. Now doesn’t that sound like an oxymoron??
So finally hate people and love people. It’s your wish. But please don’t become mushy. I’d hate it and so would the people around you =P
Be unconventional like this poem we did in English class a few days back:

Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy:
Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
if you like.

Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.

Get it? So be yourself and tell the rest of the world to bugger off!
With lots of love and hate,
Me.
